Unfortunately yesterday the NYPD beat the FDNY in the annual PD vs. FD hockey game. Fortunately another charity hockey game was successful. A great time was had by all in this tight scoring game and alot of money was raised by both organizations. Today everyone is back on the streets doing their jobs and supporting each other.
